i knew Peggy, but if i put my mouse hover the tiny avatar (and it tells me that i wrote X posts there) i'll expect which it carries me on these posts ...You can check all of your posts in your profile.

How would that work? Would it carry you to the first or the last? Or after x seconds automatically scroll to the next one in line?i knew Peggy, but if i put my mouse hover the tiny avatar (and it tells me that i wrote X posts there) i'll expect which it carries me on these posts ...

How or why would it possibly do that? Which post would it carry you to of you've more than one post in that thread?i knew Peggy, but if i put my mouse hover the tiny avatar (and it tells me that i wrote X posts there) i'll expect which it carries me on these posts ...
It's only an indicator, that people have been asking for.

justs like the (main) search results ... nothing more ...
note: i found a redundant issue (IMO): if i wrote/open a new thread i think that's redundant the tiny avatar, cause it's obvious that i've already posted in that thread ... but perhaps this is hard to fix ...

See below picture which indicate I've posted in the thread, and the mini avatar(me) shows on the big avatar(somebody who create thread).The whole page won't look tide and clean.
Why not change the color of the green circle to red or something else to indicate my post in this thread?

Yes, this is logical thinking. In fact, in the previous implementation it was that way actually. But people (like myself) found that in that implementation it became even harder to eye-browse/see at a glance which thread you have been posting in, because suddenly on your own postings this little avatar was gone. It is perfectly logical, but -again- in practice it didn't quite work out in the overall scheme of things. However, maybe in the current situation with the improved little Avatars, it might even work.

Wow,the green circle has been used to indicate unread thread.We'd better have another mark for post in thread.i think the circle is also redundant ...

I like the thinking behind it, but it really looks ugly.
A global small unique icon that is the same to everyone is much better IMO. We don't need a small avatar to get the feeling it's related to us, we only need something to indicate that we've posted in this thread. Anyway, let's give it sometime and see how we are going to feel about.
But I'd like to give us a chance to test and feel a global icon instead of the 'Mini Me'. I think that will be fair.
OK OK, I'm not going into considering what customers want/like even if it's not the same as what you like, but at least make it an option in the Admin CP instead of editing the template manually, so we have the option to switch it On or Off. That will be really appreciated.

Or .. just get used to it, if it was there from the moment the board opened, nobody had something to compare it against and I am sure everybody would have loved the innovating approach. It's nitpicking over nothing in my opinion.
Time to move on.

You do, it's called backspace in the templating system.I'd like to have an option for it to switch On or Off, though.

That is not true, obviously. (Compare it to threads that you have not posted in, compare it to other software... compare it to what your own insight tells that is the best possible solution... etc.)
Nope. I love innovating when it supports or even improves usability. Not when it works against it.
That is indeed your opinion
.We can now, because we have been listened too and even improvements have been made.

No offense, but No, That is called a template modification. I'm talking about a switch option/setting. They are two different things.

Love it/thank you
Actually, I love it or let's say really like it now, thanks to the improvements. All of the practical/usability issues I had with them are solved. I can see now this was the best solution, because with making them bigger they are better recognizable and at the same time stand out more (2 benefits in 1: don't have to squeeze your eyes as a new user to get it's your own avatar and next to that the biggest benefit: your eyes do not have to search for them in the threadlist). Now they serve the purpose/reasoning behind it much better, plus it is in line with XenForo's socially innovate design. Best of both worlds.
Thanks again. (<--- the last 2 words I say about it)
